Basic Bikepacking Equivalency Application
Participating in bikepacking activities with The Mountaineers requires either that you successfully complete the Basic Bikepacking Course (normally held by Tacoma and Seattle branches in the late summer/early fall) or show that you have the equivalent skills, knowledge, and equipment that we expect of one of our Basic Bikepacking Course graduates. This application describes and starts the process of determining course equivalency.
Process:
- Prospective candidates will complete and submit the equivalency application below.
- The Bikepacking Equivalency Coordinator will review the application and based on the answers will either schedule an additional meeting/interview and/or plan for candidate to participate in a upcoming bikepacking trip.
- Once the application form is received, applicants will be added to the Bikepacking Equivalency Course and granted a Basic Bikepacking Student badge which will allow them to participate in bikepacking activities.
- Once Equivalency is established the candidate will be granted a Basic Bikepacking Badge.
